Tools to generate tiles from WMS or Mapnik, to S3, Berkeley DB, MBTiles, or local filesystem in WMTS layout using Amazon cloud services.

Project description

TileCloud Chain

The goal of TileCloud Chain is to provide tools around tile generation on a chain like:

Source: WMS, Mapnik.

Optionally using an SQS queue, AWS host, SNS topic.

Destination in WMTS layout, on S3, on Berkeley DB (bsddb), on MBTiles, or on local filesystem.

Features:

  • Generate tiles.
  • Drop empty tiles.
  • Drop tiles outside a geometry or a bbox.
  • Use MetaTiles.
  • Generate the legend images.
  • Generate GetCapabilities.
  • Generate OpenLayers example page.
  • Obtain the hash of an empty tile.
  • In the future, measure tile generation speed.
  • Calculate cost and generation time.
  • In the future, manage the AWS hosts that generate tiles.
  • Delete empty tiles.
  • Copy files between caches.
  • Be able to use an SQS queue to dispatch the generation.
  • Post processing the generated tiles.
  • ...

Legacy features:

  • bsddb support
  • sqlite (mbtiles) support
  • mapnik support (should be updated for Python3)

Run the tests

Setup your environment:

touch tilecloud_chain/OpenLayers.js
docker build --tag camptocamp/tilecloud-chain .
docker-compose -p tilecloud up

To run the tests:

Documentation

As documentation you can read the USAGE.rst and the configuration reference.

VSCode

You can add that in your workspace configuration to use the JSON schema:

{
  "yaml.schemas": {
    "../tilecloud-chain/tilecloud_chain/schema.json": [
      "tilecloud-chain/tilecloud_chain/tests/tilegeneration/*.yaml"
    ]
  }
}
